Be itlrnown that l, ,Mines BOWLING, a citizen of the United States, anda resident olusseilville, in the'count-y of'Logan und State of Kentucky,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil- Burners,reference being had to the accompanying dravvii 45.

l pensive nature and 'of u/compact and dufable construction.

Qin

Another object is to provide a liquid. fuel burning stove which has aheet distributer which will insure the heat being evenly distributed,and which isdso constructed that the'ttachment can be placed Wit-hin thefirel boi?` of an ordinary cooking orheating stove with ease. accuracyand despatch.

`With these and other objects in View, the-V gnesent invention consistsin the combination and arrangement of parts as' willbel hereinafter morefully described and inally f' pointed out in the appended claim, itbeing l further understood that-changes i the specie structure shown anddescribe may be made 4Withirrthe scope of t-heclaim,` without departingfrom the spirit of the invention.

Extending from the rr back l and located at the lower'corne-rs thereof, are the two bottoni brackets fl, which extendparallel with the top EZ5 and end in alinerhent with theforw'ard iaceoi'the- 'ront section 3. s'showii inv Fig. l, se

this heat kretainer is open at its endsand is of such a size as tolit-'into the hrelooxov e stoveV of conventional construction.,` `Foreach'diierentA size of arebox l' provide a. heat distributer, of propereine. This heat. sa.

distributer is of such a size that there isy .a space between the back,und the front 3,

and the-hre box' of the stove, so that there' will be free circulationof heat between the distributer end the top, front and back of @il thefire box.. Through the grate of the stove and'eniptying against theimperforate back, vsection o, of the heat distributer,l is the nozzle 5,ofv asuitable burner 6, the openring of which is controlled by means ofa 95 pinvalve 7, operated by means of the hand wheel 8. A cap 9, ofconventional construc` tion' is usedi The burner is partly directed intothe l'heat distributer as .is shown in Fig. 1.

reo In connectionwith the burner, l efploy a vtan'lr 10, containing` asuitable liquid fuel from which extends the oil supply pipe 11, havingits 'lower end l2, perforated and ending near the bottom of the tank asshown in Fig. 1. This supply pipe l1 is threaded and leads intotheburner 6. Extending from the breast or upper portion of the tank l0,is the air supply tube i3 which is also led into the burner :it ai pointpreferably in front of the bil supply pipe 1l as shown lin Fig'l. Theoily pipe ll is provided with a i simple. located between controlling'valve 14, while the air supply the heat retainer and the fuel havingbeen -placed within the tank, the pump 18 1s acturetainer, is, ofcourse,

atedzso that'suiicient-pressure is obtained within the tank. The valves15 and 14 are then ope'ned and the pin valve 7 is adjusted so as topermit the Aescape of a suit-able amount of fuel. A match is thenapplied to the burner to create a blaze.' The'blaze strikes against theimperforated back of the heat retainer and is deflected thereby. In viewof the draft furnished through the air pressure and by virtue of thenatural draft of the stove the products of combus- 4tion will escapethrough the perforations within the top and back as well as below theimperforate frontvv to be evenly distributed entirely throughout thelire box. -The heat also heated and thereby serves to uniformly hold theheat. The

arrows in Fig. 1, disclose the passage of the products of combustion. x

While I have shown butpne burner it is,

of course understood that the stove could be provided with a pluralityof burners. So also while the tank is placed in front of the stove thesame could be placed at any other convenient or suitable point.According to arrangement the heat is evenly distributed within the firebox so that the same will pass through the stove exactly as would be thecase where a wood or coal fire is employed, with the exception that inconnection with my liquid fuel burner the heat can be accuratelycontrolled and is more evenly distributed.

Liquid fuel burners embodying my invention are made in different sizes.The device is simple and inexpensive in construction, both durable andetlicient in operation.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by United States Letters Patent is:

A heat distributer of suitable heat retaining material as fire clay,comprising a three sided member including a perforated back having animperforate central portion, a c

perforated top, an imperforate front section of half the widthof saidback section and two bottom brackets extending from saidbacli parallelwithsaid top, as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I aiix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
